 Ok so we all know you have to have the patience of a saint to self build .... Nobody said that saint was a Saint Bernard so you have to have MASSIVE patience... (Got to get a doggy joke in here every now and then!) So yes we started the dig out. Here is a pic of the digger breaking ground...

 Sooo... big day tomorrow all going well ... the dig out starts and we will be breaking ground! But for now I must show you all what my clever brother in law (Gary) has done for me with his drone, my home made model of the house and his software skills!!  So top pic is site ready for dig out and bottom one Gary has superimposed my model onto the site. Very cleaver. Shame building isnt that instant!! I have just purchassed a camera so I can timelapse the build and hopefully be able to get stills from it too. Not that it has arrived yet, so hopefully its here tomorrow... Otherwise I may well be calling in Gary for some more favours with the camera or the drone!  Thanks Gary and here is to the dig day tomorrow! I will be back very soon with an update... Watch this space!
